Sculptris Tutorial

Picture
GO TO SCULPTRIS
Use your mouse to sculpt life-like characters and other organic shapes from a virtual ball of clay.
If you enjoy sculpture and want to make organic models, then try using a digital sculpting tool like Sculptris. Digital sculpting is a modeling process whereby a digital mesh is pushed, pinched, stretched, and otherwise manipulated as if it were clay. Sculptris is a great tool for creating characters, creatures, animals, and life-like models. Beginners can have fun experimenting to make crazy creatures, and experts can sculpt realistic faces, bodies, and animals. 
As you might imagine, it can be difficult to make geometric or architectural models in Sculptris. However, you can use Sculptris to create organic design elements and then import your creation into another design program like Tinkercad to add geometric elements; for example, you might construct a chess knight by making the horse head in Sculptris and the base of the piece in Tinkercad. Sculptris does not have measurements or dimensions, so anything designed within Sculptris will need to be exported and sized in another 3D design program or 3D printing prep software, like MakerBot Desktop.
Of the digital sculpting programs available, Scupltris is recommended for beginners for its powerful yet relatively intuitive user interface. Pixologic bought Sculptris long ago and they now offer it as a gateway to their paid professional flagship digital sculpting software, ZBrush. But don’t be fooled into thinking of Sculptris as a watered-down modeling tool; it’s capable of making intricate and professional models for CGI and 3D printing.
